Add characters for chikari #64

Sometimes it is necessary to be able to write the fact that we must play a chi.

In this case, in the written score, we use the letter 'o' or the symbol '>'.

Is it possible to have a symbol to represent this ?

Can you share any screenshots or sketches of the Chikari symbol in context with notes / composition?

Ravi Shankar in his book suggests to use letter c for chikari. I asked around, some people use * and some others use $ There is no universal symbol for this. I want to suggest the attached which is close to Ravi Shankar but more representative of a Music Notation. chickari

There was an old font called Dustismo Sargam that allows to write chikari with a little 'C' character in the upper corner. For example if we play Sa then a Chi we will write this : image
